Salad/Spring Onion "Redbeard"

Great crop you have there.

:-))

o wot a gud idea never new that .does that work wth leeks as well .

You definitely have to do this with leeks, Cristina!!! :-))))

will go and do it now then ,shud i do it with my spring oinions as well

Defo with the leeks, Crisrtina, but not worth it with the spring onions. In fact, probably shoudn't cover the tops of the bulbs once growing. Picked our first ones, today, in fact. pic coming up!

right have dun the leeks .sumone else did say it as well . do i earth up 2

Sorry I spelled ur name wrong, Cristina - realised then that it was getting dark, lol! If you mean the spring onions, if you have just the beginnings of bulbs forming, might be worth it. I wouldn't worry though, so much, with spring onions, unless you are a devout follower of fancy cooks and recipes which call for the "white" stem parts of spring onions, lol!!! Otherwise, leave alone to grow like big onions, with top half or so above surface.I have posted pic of our red spring onions pulled today! X

ok will take a look . but ment the leeks as want sum nice white stems. dont worry bt name lol ,i 4 give u .
